Lol, that’s great advice.
The most interesting place I ever ate mexican food was in UlaanBataar the capital of Mongolia. It was a blended Mexican/Indian restaurant. Cheap though.
Shaun, please, tell me you snapped some pics with your cell or something! Don’t leave us hanging here… ;D
Duh.
never eat Mexican food north of Texas.
Dang, it seems like your Kansas leg was a real gas.
Buh-duhn-shuh.
Halpinator’s right. Anything north of the Red River and you might as well just order the chicken strips off the kids menu.
There is great mexican food in Chicago – owned and run by actual people from Mexico as shocking as that might be. But Kansas – I’m not sure what I’d find safe to eat
Oh gosh, Shaun. Bold move vs. bad move. Probably a little bit of both. [Hi, by the way. Long time no see/type.] I have an interesting habit of eating ethnic food in very…non-ethnic cities. Like Pakistani food in Tulsa. So far, so good.
Hope this finds you well. I’m moving back to Nashville somewhere between May and July.

my first comment here probably shouldn’t be one word, but “duh” is the only response i can come up with. – i live in kansas… so i know about the lack of decent and non-scary mexican food. sorry about that bud.
Are you sure that’s not travel tip #2?
Keith, there wasn’t anything in what I ate capable of inducing a #2. That was part of the problem.
A tortilla folded in half with melted cheese and cut up chicken nuggets inside is NOT a quesadilla. Not even close.
No pico + No guacamole + No lettuce + No cilantro + No smile on my face = Not Mexican
Plenty of good Mexican in NWArkansas, too. But, it is generally a good rule not to eat seafood anywhere in middle America…
I’m thinking Mexican in ANY airport (or any “authentic” in any airport, for that matter) is a good rule of thumb.
My basic flight rule: stick to Starbucks. Pack snacks. Eat when you get there.
Shaun, instead of bad “Mexican” food in Kansas you could have had some good Mexican food served up with a side of Hepatitis A! A Pappasito’s near my home in north Houston did just this. Now, thousands of people are lining up for vaccinations.
And, if you think Kansas “Mex” is bad, I’ll tell you it gets worse. I’ve eaten “Scotch-Mex” in northern Scotland at a full fledged restaurant and not just a little fast food type shop. The “salsa” that set all the local’s mouths on fire was nothing more than diced tomatoes. Not even cilantro, onions, salt, or any other seasoning to spice it up. Pathetic. I went there with a group I was working with, but in the three weeks I was there after that I somehow managed to never eat there again.
